I discovered https://www.bricklink.com/v2/article_view.page?id=1038 due to the
very public drama going on with Mike's store, is there an index to other
seller stories somewhere?

Did these type of stories stop? If so, why and when.

This is fun content to go back, read, and learn. I want to read them all now
and don't want to have to change the id parameter manually to find them.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

John

I think it was an initiative for BL’s 15th anniversary.  It lasted a few months.

This is a thing? It should be easier to find stuff like this. Where do I have
to dig to find these?

Agreed almost nothing's easy to find on BL

Apart this, a few times per year take a couple hours clicking all the BrickLink
pages / link; you'll find info. I do it from time to time, and sometimes
reread Help pages to see if something changed...

You need excavators and a map to find help pages. Some of these should be built
into site pages. The help pages probably encounter as much traffic as an Iowa
cornfield.

But too bad, sellers come here and they apparently never have read them.

I don't know how they can do this - I read those pages maybe 3 times even
before I opened the shop.

Using your favorite search engine! Use the advanced filter

site:Bricklink.com

and then your search term

In the image attached, I searched for NSS and the first non ad result in DDG
is the NSS help page

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?viewType=shop&helpID=110

To find Mike's story I typed in

site:bricklink.com "Ace of Bricks"

First result was a link to his store, second was a link to the story I originally
inquired about.

Works with most search terms and most search engines.

Now go search yourself

Very public drama? What's going on? Is there a link to somewhere I can read
about whatever's going on? I'm new, so I don't know anything about
anything that's happening right now, haha.

Thank you,
-Andy
